| Abstract |
Earth is being threatened by the actions of human beings, This results in a warming global climate, declining resources and general harm back to human beings and future generations. Fortunately, there have been considerable steps taken to create a more sustainable living environment today, including environmental building assessment tools. This paper is a study on the indoor environmental ratings by comparing green building certification systems, namely GBCC, CASBEE, LEED and BREEAM. Indoor environment ratings of these certification systems are compared and analyzed, to find out the whether these certification systems represent a comprehensive evaluation of a livable indoor environment. The results of the study showed that the indoor environmental rating of GBCC, CASBEE, LEED and BREEAM had some differences, and that CASBEE, LEED, and BREEAM obtained a result that was each 17%, 41%, and 54% lower than GBCC, respectively. |
